Lid. 1-21 Crest Gueea Street, Leadon, W.C, To a Critic OMETIMES I wonder which the earliest thrived, The mind creative or the analytic— Whether the bard and artist first ar- rived, Or first the critic? ’Tis certain that in dim primeval times Men fully understood the craft of slating ; And earlier than the skill of paint or rhymes They practiced rating. Dear Critic, as the generations pass, There is a deal of reputation-break- ing; The years to come may write you down an ass, And no mistaking. But let not this perturb your casy mind ; The donkey's ears are very slow in showing ; The lion’s skin that you have hid be- hind Is vast and flowing. 1358 Broadway, New York City Missing Their Opportunities GERMAN tailor named Eglinski has apparently broken the record as a father. He has had thirty-five children by two marriages. His wives were sisters. Twenty-six children are now living. The Emperor of Germany ordered him entertained a week in Berlin at the foyal expense. This is really getting off cheap, according to Dr. Bernard Shaw, who thinks the government should pay about ten thou- sand dollars for every child. During the years Herr Eglinski has been walking the floor, there must have been a very young baby in the house most of the time. Yet there is no evidence that either parent has written any book on psychology, or that they have recorded their scientific method of bringing up children. We suspect that they didn’t have one. This, of course, is sad. If they had lived in America they could, by this time, be in charge of a new department of prolifics at Yale or Harvard.
